NEW PRODUCTS
Each quarter The Report brings you an update on some of the new prod- ucts and innovations to hit the boating, shipping and maritime industry.
New small diesel from Moteurs Baudouin
French diesel engine manufacturer has released the new 4W105M marine engine as part of the W105 range.
The W105 range now includes 4 and 6 cylinder engines (4.5L and 6.75L respectively) covering the range 95-185 kW.
Moteurs Baudouin is equipped with modern production facilities and the latest machining technical innovations.
New App from Digital Yacht
OutboardView is a new app from Digital Yacht designed to allow a smartphone or tablet to display engine data and calculate optimum efficiency. Fuel economy while boating is a major consideration and small changes to trim or RPM can make a big difference to the optimum economy. In addition, sea state and weather are also variables that impact the sweet spot.
C-Sense has success with EcoPilot
The Eco Pilot is an efficient, easy to install, inexpensive fuel consumption monitoring system. It is made by France- headquartered C-Sense, a specialist in embedded electronics with a research and development team of highly skilled engineers.
The company reports that more than 80 vessels of all kind are now equipped with the Eco Pilot and all of these companies have made substantial savings since installing the system to their vessels.
TMS and Boluda, two majors players in the towing French market, saw a real advantage equipping their vessels with the Eco Pilot.
“Even assuming the actual low price level of gasoil, we estimate a payback period of between 12 and 18 months”, said Pierre- Alexis Dormegnies of C-Sense, commenting that the Eco Pilot allows users to measure fuel consumption in real time, providing options for very precise billing.
OutboardView is designed to show engine parameters such as RPM, boat speed, oil temperature and pressure as well as calculating optimum fuel economy. The system can use speed data from either the boat’s navigation system or from a GPS.
“There are many advantages to having this system to monitor fuel consumption and C-Sense offers a software application allowing the user to view and analyse the data collected, even making it possible to establish a Ship Efficiency & Energy Management Plan,” he said.
